Pilton House, Pilton
Pilton House in the parish of Pilton, near Barnstaple, North Devon, is an historic grade II listed Georgian mansion house built in 1746 by Robert Incledon〔 (1676-1758), twice Mayor of Barnstaple, descended from an ancient family from nearby Braunton. It is situated almost in the centre of the ancient town of Pilton, but had formerly extensive grounds covering at least 20 acres, which extended down "Pilton Lawn", now built over, to the River Yeo. It later served as the residence for various Members of Parliament for Barnstaple, for which it was well suited being only a 10-minute walk from the centre of that town, yet in a secluded situation with extensive grounds, and sufficiently large and grand for entertaining borough officials and electors.
==History==
No records detailing the history of the site of Pilton House before the 18th century survives on available title deeds.〔Reed, p.143〕 It is believed to occupy the site of the demolished mediaeval Pilton Priory.〔Risdon, Tristram (d.1640), Survey of Devon, 1811 edition, London, 1811, with 1810 Additions, p.428 ()〕 Reed (1985) states that the site was part of the Pilton Priory lands purchased following the Dissolution of the Monasteries by George Rolle (d.1552) of Stevenstone,〔 founder of the influential and wealthy Rolle family, and quickly re-sold by him in 1545 piecemeal and at a profit.〔Reed, pp.49-52, 143〕
